NEW DINO DISCOVERIES AT ROARR! THIS HALF TERM
ROARR! Has even more to offer this half term with the final phase of development for Valley of the Dinosaurs, which is now even bigger and better after a number of exciting additions and improvements.
The immersive trail combines educational adventure with thrills and surprises as guests follow a 812m-long path through woodland, encountering dozens of prehistoric beasts along the way. Intrepid young adventurers are invited to step back in time and get up close to dozens of different species of dinosaur from a carnotaurus to nimble raptors, and more ROARR-some animatronics.
Every turn brings guests face-to-face with lifesize and lifelike dinosaur models, brought to life by information points full of fascinating facts. Guests can experience a variety of digital games within Valley of the Dinosaurs, by using the ROARR! App, which allows them to design their own dinosaur and ROARR! like a T-Rex. Older models will reveal recent facelifts at half-term, and the walkways have been tarmacked to improve the journey through time for guests with wheelchairs or pushchairs.
Beyond the Valley of the Dinosaurs, the 85-acre Park is home to over 25 dinosaur-themed activities, complete with indoor and outdoor play areas, guests can play all day whatever the weather. With all of attractions included in the ticket price, guests can enjoy a full day out at ROARR! From Predator High Ropes to Dippy’s Theatre, Dippy’s Splash Zone to Dinomite Indoor Play and Dippy’s Raceway, there’s plenty to keep all explorers busy.
When it’s time to refuel, there are several restaurants and cafés at the Park serving a variety of drinks, snacks and meals, as well as a number of picnic areas.
During May half-term entry to ROARR! is from £19.95 per person (children under 90cm go free). Book online at roarr.co.uk
